Is anyone else even a little concerned at the amount of time, money and stress being wasted worrying about a non existent disease that 'might' happen, and 'might' be a problem; but only if a mutation occurs in the virus so that it becomes transmittable between humans?

Can we please get a bloody grip.

The Facts - 6bn people in the world and less than 60 have died from the so called 'Bird Flu', hardly a worrying number though of course any death is lamented by someone.
All these people worked with infected birds in parts of the world with a poor record in public health and agricultural sanitation.
The chance of this strain actually mutating is not a certainty but only a possibility.
The more energy that is put into 'defeating' this virus will just lead to more strains of flu becoming drug resistant (no self interest in this from the drug companies of course) but this will not be good news for the rest of the world. Just look at the so called super virus' that are affecting hospitals - MRSA a direct result of the increased use of antibiotics in the last twenty years.
Raw eggs - good grief!

Man walks into DEFRA

Man "I've come about this parrot."
DEFRA "Yes sir what seems to be the problem?"
Man "Well you told me it had to go into quarantine and now's it seems to be dead."
DEFRA "Dead Sir?"
Man "Yes, as in deceased, dead, it is no more, it is an ex-parrot"
DEFRA "Ex-Parrot?, It looks like a Norwegian Blue to me."
Man "Is that why you put it in quarantine with a number of birds from Asia? Because it was a Norwegian Blue?"
DEFRA "No, we put all Parrots in the same cage as it makes our quarantine centre's look tidier and we do like to look like we are doing our jobs well. Was it not from Asia then?"
Man "No It came from South America. So your concept of quarantine is to mix birds with suspected deadly viruses along with animals in detention for precautionary reasons?"
DEFRA "Well it worked with Foot & Mouth"
Man "Well no it didn't actually"
DEFRA "Ah, yes, well..."

So much more could be done with this situation but as a Python fan (the comedy show not the snake - I hate snakes) I'll leave it to other more skilled in the art of comedy.

It's nice to see that the government (led by Mr Tony B liar) are as painfully dishonest and inefficient as always.
